This car is fabulous! Totally worth the wait. Got it with 9 miles on it and thoroughly enjoyed the trip home.

lhsa · 08-29-2011, 10:41 AM

richardew · 08-29-2011, 11:09 AM

Congrats. Only 9 miles on the odometer. I feel cheated. Mine had 12! Where are the pics?

Nice to see you got it all sorted out Periwinkle.

Where did you end up being able to get the car from?

We ordered an '11 X3 35i Alpine White on 8/9 for Sept production with Premium, Convenience, Assist/Bluetooth, Oyster and floor mats. Dealer called this AM and said we can pick it up this Wednesday. I assume Spartanburg found one that they didn't know they had hidden deep in the bushes on the back lot.

Beyu · 08-29-2011, 05:57 PM

Wow 96 Impreza, that's got to be one of the quickest turnarounds I've ever seen.

Just don't let fellow members across the pond know.

Harplayr · 08-29-2011, 06:43 PM

Congrats!

Powerrunner · 08-29-2011, 09:12 PM

Outstanding, hope you are having fun, and congrats!

You got your car in 3 weeks - when you could have waited 31 weeks, paid double and not got a production video ? Outrageous I've never heard anything like it!

Dealer called today. Transporter delayed in Dallas, TX for repairs. X3 delivery Thursday or Friday.
Another anomaly, I received the following robo-email this morning from the dealer, names removed to protect the embarrassed:

"...THANKS!
Hi XXXXX ,
I wanted to extend my gratitude for allowing me to match you with your MINI. I am always happy to find a good home for one of our beloved MINI. A home with a good motorer who knows what's what and will never take their MINI, and all it has to offer, for granted. Don't forget you can check up on your MINI as well by way of the MINI Owners Lounge - www.ol.miniusa.com and if your are anxious to learn about your MINI features there is a site for that to - Aboutyourmini.com Thanks again, and I will be in touch as soon as there are further developments with your order...."

My response to dealer, "What MINI?"
